I copied some lines onto a geometry.
How can I bend them separately?

So far, I tried the copy stamp option and
several for loops, but I cannot get this to work.

I can imagine doing this in an attribute wrangle,
but I guess there's a much easier (node) option.

Could anyone please point me to the right way
here, please? Thx.

Just to clarify, this approach was probably my best one (lol).
How can I copy one of the many lines to my scattered points?

Hi,

here is example using the “for-each-nodes”. The idea behind is using the metadata to create attributes for each iteration. These attributes can be used to perform a single operation for each iteration and after this the result can be merged to the feedback result of the loop.

Guide Process SOP could also be an option for bending curves:

I now understand much more about all this stuff.

Here's my “move to points” solution.
